Always purchase prescription medications from licensed Canadian pharmacies. Verify their legitimacy through Health Canada’s website, searching their database of licensed establishments.
Check for a physical address in Canada and contact information. Avoid pharmacies lacking this transparency.
- Look for secure online ordering processes (HTTPS). Confirm the pharmacy uses secure payment gateways (e. g., PCI DSS compliance). Review independent customer reviews and ratings on reputable review sites.
Understand that importing drugs without a prescription is illegal. Ensure your prescription is valid and accurately reflects your needs.
Your prescription should clearly state the medication, dosage, and quantity. Retain a copy of your prescription for your records. If you have questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist before ordering.
Be aware that Canadian drug pricing varies. Compare prices from multiple licensed pharmacies before making a purchase, but prioritize safety and legitimacy over cost.
Report any suspected illegal online pharmacies to Health Canada. This helps protect consumers and ensures adherence to regulations.
